Regarding Purchases. 



Note. — Especial attention is given to mail orders and to all correspond- 
ence relating to mail business. If intending purchasers will acquaint us 
with their wants by letter, we will advise them promptly and fully upon all 
questions of style, price, construction, or equipment. Our aim is to make 
it as convenient and satisfactory to the customer to purchase his carriages 
by letter after an examination of this catalogue, as if a personal visit to the 
warerooms were made. 

2Tetms : As prices have been reduced to the lowest 
point, transactions are understood to be on 
a cash basis. 

Ecnttttaiues : 

Remittances may be made by exchange 
on Boston or New York. It is expected that 
references will be given unless the purchase 
price is remitted with order. 

i|>lnpmrnt£( : 

All prices include free delivery at railroad 
stations or point of shipment from Boston. 
In the absence of explicit instructions, goods 
will be shipped by the shortest, cheapest, and 
most direct route. 

For distant shipments boxing or crating 
reduces freight charges to a very nominal 
cost, and we add the simple charge for this. 
For short distance shipments all vehicles are 
carefully protected by waterproof covering. 

(Extras : We have included in the description of 
each carriage a list of the extra articles which 
may possibly be required, with the price of 
each. Our arrangements are such that we 
can furnish the latest styles of harness 
adapted to each vehicle. As we secure these 
direct from the manufacturers, we give pur- 
chasers the advantage of wholesale price. 

J§>econU (SraUes: 

In many of the carriages here represented 
we are enabled at the cost of extra time to 
modify the price by the use of less expen- 
sive materials and finish. 

Cratfe : Unless distinctly specified, the track width 
of all vehicles will be made to the gauge of 
four feet, eight and one-half inches, as 
adopted by the Carriage Makers' Convention 
of 1887. 

jReto is>tplee(: 

We are constantly bringing out new designs 
of American, English, and Continental pleas- 
ure carriages, in accordance with the latest 
approved fashions. These new styles usually 
embody distinct improvements, however 
slight, in construction or equipment. 

SLEIGHS. 

Sleighs in their season are a specialty with 
us. We carry a full line, including every 
variety and style of both American and 
Russian design. We will furnish engravings, 
specifications, and prices on request.

Dover mail coach. 



SPECIFICATIONS. 
^>tple: Latest London pattern of 1889. 

Construction : 

An entire treatise might be written upon 
the years of thoughtful study which have 
been given to the plans, construction, and 
equipment of this famous English equipage. 
We shall take pleasure in preparing full 
details, enumerating every feature of the 
construction, and giving special suggestions 
as the results of our own experience in 
building the Dover Mail in an adapted form 
especially for American roads. 




English Style. 




French Style. 



|Haterial6 : 

It is needless to say that only the best of 
everything goes into such a vehicle. The 
result is a concentration of all the first five 
years' expense into the original purchase- 
price. It is really an almost indestructible 
vehicle. 
SSEeia;I)t : A long ton (2,240 pounds exactly). 

Colours anU H>triptng;s: 

English vermilion gear with broad black 
stripes : black body with fine vermilion 
striping. 

jfrumoet of Worses : 

Four or six. 

jf*iumber of Passcntjers: 

Thirteen. 

Price : $2,600. 

©ftras : Roof robes, $25, $35, $40, and $50 each. 
Footboard timepiece, $25. Odometer, $10. 



Ascot Break. 



Note. — But little encouragement is needed to make Touring by Break 
as popular in America as it is in England. The cost is small; when com- 
pared with the maintenance of a yacht, it is almost insignificant. A grade 
of horses less expensive than that used on any other vehicle can properly be 
employed. 

Imported English Breaks are not built for such severe service as they 
must receive on our rough roads; but the Ascot is specially planned for 
American requirements. 



SPECIFICATIONS. 
i§>tT>lf : English model, adapted. 

Construction : 

The Ascot is hung on full platform-springs 
and strictly English Mail Coach gear. The 
foundation of the design is the most popular 
English Break. The alterations necessitated 
for its use on American roads include a wider 
gauge (which secures the absence of all sway- 
ing motion) and special provisions in the gear 
to obviate any tendency to "top-heaviness." 




^Jlatcrtalei : 

The Ascot is constructed in our Coach 
Department and only the first quality of 
materials is used in every part. The fitments 
are very complete and include basket- 
hampers, ice-chest, imperial-cases, luggage- 
lockers, extra vvhiffletrees, lead hooks, Eng- 
lish spring brake guards, foot-cushions, horn, 
wrenches, keys, etc. etc. Finest English 
Tally-ho lamps with locomotive reflectors. 
Only the most experienced men working by 
day are employed in the construction of this 
vehicle. Upholstered in finest English pig- 
skin and No. i hair. 

5L5Reia;|)t : 1,850 pounds. 

Colours anlf §)trtptngs : 

The full English colours are favored over 
private striping. Gear and facings in English 
vermilion, with broad black striping. Body 
in dark Melton blue, with fine vermilion 
stripes on mouldings. 
jftumfjct of parses: 

Four or more. 

Jiumbev of passengers : 

Any number of persons up to thirteen can 
be accommodated, and six is never too small 
a number for an Ascot Break. 

Price: $1,500. 

Cruras : Rubber seat covers, $8 each. Lamp 
covers, $6 per pair. Stable cover, $12. 
Toe-board lamp, with attachment for fasten- 
ing, $40. 



Private diligence. 



SPECIFICATIONS. 

This vehicle is the European Diligence, carefully and skilfully adapted 
to American needs. The extensive use of the Diligence in foreign countries 
is well known. In America it has even greater opportunities for service, 
such as Station work; the Church, Opera, or Theatre; the Picnic, Excur- 
sion, or Race-course; the Regatta, or any Outing Pleasure Party. 

jsjtplc : Improved style of 1889. 

Conetrattton : 

Coach-made throughout. Body framed of 
stoutest woods, paneled with special care to 
secure durability. The axles and springs are 
of the finest make. Latest pattern Ormonde 
wheel brake. The body is close- coupled to 
secure easy draft. Only the most skilled 
labor, working by the day, is employed on 
this vehicle. The roof seats are made re- 
movable. Many contrivances suitable to the 
numerous uses of this vehicle are introduced 
in its construction. 




;fKatmaIe( : 

The finest materials are used on all vehicles 
constructed in our coach department. The 
fitments are imported, and the luggage 
appointments, pockets, racks, etc., are very 
complete, and of the latest French pattern. 

OHxiirrjt: 900 pounds. 

Colours anil Jjitrtpirtcrs : 

Gear painted in jet black, striped in Impe- 
rial Crown Yellow. Body in black, with 
striped mouldings. 

JDumbrr of Jporscs : 

Two, or more. 

JUumocr of ^assnurrrs : 

Inside, four ; outside, four. 



Price: $850. 

(Ertras : Extra lead bars, $50. 



Note.- — We build Private Diligences in four, six, and eight-passenger 
size, with complete appointments. We will willingly supply full description 
of the six or eight-seated Diligence on application. The prices are $t,coo, 
$1,100, and $1,200.

Court Landau. 



§>tnlc 



SPECIFICATIONS. 
French, 1889. 



Construction : 

The fashion has changed from the English 
and German designs to a strictly French con- 
struction. The bodies are formed on curved 
lines to a greater extent than formerly, while 
yet retaining the drop centres. The top 
folds flat without moving the driver's seat, 
and when open retains its shape, making 
the Landau a perfect combination of the 
coach and the Paris Vis-a-vis. Our Lan- 
daus are all provided with a new shaped 
driver's seat and with the latest fashionable 
large-sized end windows. 







Jlatcrtals : 

High class in every particular. Thorough- 
ly seasoned woods and carefully selected steel 
and iron. Open head-springs of Swede 
steel, tempered in oil for utmost strength 
and flexibility. Full Collinge axles. English 
square road lamps. Complete appointments. 

QSHfijrljt: 1,300 pounds. 

Colours anti i§>trtptna;s :

striped with No. 2 chrome green.

Crystal Palace Landau. 



(Glass Front.) 



5PE^lFIcy\TlON5. 



§tPlc 



Pattern of 1889. 



Construction : 

The change from Loiier's Berlin Landau 
with its complex mechanism has been very 
gradual. But in this latest pattern the re- 
moval of windows and the complete changing 
of the top have been successfully accomplished 
and the painfully straight lines of previous 
models are now displaced by easy curves. 
The Crystal Palace Landau is new and 
graceful and a very convenient family vehicle, 
and while built for public uses, it is con- 
structed by us in a special grade of lighter 
weight for private service. 




JRatertals : 

As this vehicle requires the best workman- 
ship, it also requires the finest materials. 
The body is all whitewood and ash, hand- 
formed. Wheels of second-growth hickory. 
Latest style Collinge axles. Selected leather, 
with extra heavy grain to stand exposure. 
Deep, comfortable seats. Upholstered in 
heaviest Wulfing broadcloth. Royal Wilton 
carpets. 

@3ReigI)t: 1,350 pounds. 

Colours anto Hitrtpinps:

bands of equal size. Body in ivory jet black 
with panels of French green.

Berlin Coach. 



H>tDlc 



SPECIFICATIONS. 

Latest pattern of 1890. 



Construction : 

Coach-making is a .special branch of car- 
riage-building, which demands a higher order 
of work and exceptional facilities for its 
successful prosecution. It necessitates skilled 
labor in every department of the work. 

Our coach bodies are wholly paneled with 
bent pillars. Wrought-iron plates, firmly 
bolted and secured with greatest care. 
Three-ply roof tops. Solid mouldings. 
These bodies are made for a generation of 
active service. The ironwork throughout is 
the product of our best blacksmiths, working 
by the day. Our coach- making department 
has Mr. French's constant personal oversight. 




iRatcrtals : 

First selection of all woods. Oil-tempered 
springs of Swede steel. Improved Col- 
linge axles. Binder flange lamps, hand- 
made, with large reflectors. Wulfing broad- 
cloths with finest laces. Beveled plate-glass 
windows. Lyons silk curtains. Royal Wil- 
ton carpets. Toilet-cases, pockets, arm-rests, 
etc. etc. Only the first quality of materials 
is used in every branch of the work, and the 
Berlin contains every latest improvement and 
convenience of the modern built coach.

matic whistle combined, $15. Lamp covers, 
$4. Stable cover, $8. Pole chains, $12. 
Clock and case, $25. 



Imperial Brougham. 



(On Six Springs.) 



SPECIFICATIONS. 
§tplr : Latest approved design. 

Construction : 

This is the nearest approach to a perfect 
Brougham which modern skill can plan 
and modern artisanship produce. To the 
regular form of springs, we have added the 
most graceful and perfect of Cee Springs, 
combining the utmost ease of motion with 
very slight additional weight. Especial pre- 
cautions are taken that the six-spring 
Brougham shall be noiseless in operation. 
Every cheap Brougham makes a rumble, 
which in a closed coach renders conversation 
impossible. Rattling windows are never 
known in one of our carriages. We prevent 
them by our own patent. 




;£Ratraal6 : 

Strictly high class. Only the first qualities 
of wood, steel, iron, leather, and cloth are 
ever allowed to be used in our Coach Depart- 
ment. The result is the perfect carriage in 
every respect, which answers the wishes of 
the most fastidious purchaser. 

5L5EcicrJ)t : 1,050 pounds. 

Colours anto Jsitrtaintrg : 

Gear in Quaker green, with broad black 
stripe and two gold lines. Lower panels in 
Quaker green and upper panels in jet black.

Ventnor Demi-Coach. 



SPECIFICATIONS. 

Urtple : Latest model, Paris, 1889. 

Construction : 

This carriage is the result of a constant 
demand for the production of a vehicle less 
ponderous than the full-sized family coach, 
but having ample room to combine every 
desirable quality of the Extension Front 
Brougham. This is accomplished by giving 
greater sweep to the sills and outlines with 
an increased swell to the panels, and a 
shortening of the distance between the 
coachman's seat and the body of the vehicle. 
The arch is more concave, the centre is 
dropped, and strictly English lines have 
been adopted at the back. The result is a 
triumph of the designer's skill. 




;Ptatertals ; 

High class in every particular. Full Col- 
linge axles. Open head-springs of Swede 
steel, oil tempered for extreme flexibility. 
Imported fitments and all the appointments 
of a most expensive carriage. Box for toilet 
articles. Arm -rests. French plate-glass win- 
dows. Foot-rest, and every convenience for 
the comfort of occupants. Upholstered in 
morocco and satin. Finest Wilton carpets. 
Rouen square lamps.

EXTENSION FRONT BROUGHAM. 



SPECIFICATIONS, 
^itple : Latest English model. 

Construction : 

By extending the front of the London 
Challenger, with slightly increased width, 
a graceful, octagon-shaped front is produced, 
giving room for a permanent seat in the 
larger size and a folding seat in smaller size, 
thus adding another element of utility to the 
fashionable Brougham, enabling it to be used 
for additional numbers, while still retaining 
all the character so essential to a private 
coach. 




Jlatertals : 

Every vehicle constructed in our Coach 
Department is furnished throughout regard- 
less of expense with a sole view to securing 
the finest carriage that can be made. The 
Extension Front Brougham is outfitted in the 
highest style of the coachmaker's art. 

S2Reigl)t: Medium size, 1,000 pounds; large size, 
1,100 pounds. 

Colours anU Winnings: 

Dark Quaker green gear, striped in black 
and fine double gold lines. Lower body

in black.

London challenger. 



Note. — This is the most fashionable driving coach of the present 
London season. Its lines are exceedingly graceful and the design is so 
planned as to give the appearance of excessive weight and solidity, while in 
reality the vehicle is kept as light as is consistent with strength. " The 
Challenger is remarkable value at the price at which it is sold. 



SPECIFICATIONS. 

H>tPle : Latest London pattern of the present year. 

Construction : 

The lightest Brougham in point of weight 
and draft of any that is built. The shape is 
the very latest and most fashionable style, 
with graceful curved lines, solid and some- 
what pronounced mouldings, high panel 
doors, shorter windows, and a clever counter- 
feit of " massiveness " of appearance, with- 
out any addition to the real weight. The 
Challenger follows the outlines of Lord 
Brougham's famous vehicle. It has very deep 
seats, ample room in front, and the weight is 
kept to a very low point. Compactness of 
hanging achieves a result of very light draft. 




Materials : 

The utmost care, combined with experience 
and study, decides the selection of all mate- 
rials for this carriage. Only skilled labor 
working by the day is used in its construction. 
The fitments are selected with great care and 
are the finest which money can produce. 
Latest fashionable inside trimmings. Remov- 
able ash tray. Mirrors of beveled French 
plate. Coachman's pneumatic whistle. Finest 
locks.

Paris Brougham. 



SPECIFICATIONS. 

§>tplr : Very latest pattern (December, 1889). 

Construction : 

Our Broughams typify the highest skill of 
the carriage designer. The new models of 
December, 1889, embody the full pronounced 
curved lines, with solid mouldings and panel 
finish, which designated the Town Chariot of 
a century ago. But with this design, modern 
skill has effected many improvements by 
great savings in weight and clumsiness. The 
new Paris Brougham is the result of the 
highest skill joined to the best experience in 
an endeavor to produce a perfect carriage, 
luxuriously comfortable and elegant in appear- 
ance. The outlines are very beautiful. The 
body is hung from carved pump-handles with 
carved pillars and moulded arch. The doors 
are deep, with concave panels ; the roof is 
gracefully arched ; the sills are beveled ; and 
every detail contributes to the richest effect. 




Materials : 

The first quality of thoroughly seasoned 
woods with the finest steel, iron, and leather, 
specially selected for our Coach Department. 
The foreign and American markets are 
thoroughly canvassed for every new device 
and contrivance which shall add to the com- 
fort and beauty of this finest product of our 
factory.

New model of 1890. 



Construction : 

This vehicle is a special combination of 
the Victoria with the barouche of a past 
generation, and it is an exceedingly popular 
carriage. Its proportions and weight are a 
slight increase over those of the Victoria, 
and it has all the beautiful outlines of the 
barouche. There is ample room for four 
occupants, but the design is so planned that 
the carriage looks equally appropriate when 
used for a less number. The vehicle is 
adjusted very compactly for ease of motion 
and light draft. The top is arranged to fold 
closely.

GUIET MYLORD, 



.SPECIFICATIONS. 

Js>tT>lc : The very latest pattern, as shown at the 
Paris Exposition of 1889. 

This is the French interpretation of the 
St. Blaise Victoria. It is the Frenchman's 
attempt to still further improve the beauty of 
his own perfect work, as shown in that 
vehicle. 

Construction : 

The construction of the two carriages is 
identical. There is simply a slight difference 
in lines. The St. Blaise is the American 
exposition of the Frenchman's ideas ; the 
Guiet Mylord is the Frenchman's own 
exposition of them. 




Materials : 

The same materials throughout are used 
in both vehicles. (See description on a 
previous page.) 

QSJeta;I)t : 750 to 850 pounds.

Price : $800 and $900.

royal Cabriolet. 

SPECIFICATIONS. 

^>tPle: Latest Paris pattern of 1889. 

Construction : 

The construction of this carriage is essen- 
tially the same as the Guiet Mylord, but 
increased strength is secured by the continua- 
tion of frame and panel work instead of the 
customary iron connection and leather dasher. 
The Royal Cabriolet is thus properly a 
medium carriage between the ordinary Cabri- 
olet and the Victoria. It is arranged with 
folding seat for children. 




^ftatertals : 

Only the finest materials are used in this 
vehicle. Being constructed in our Coach 
Department, it has constant personal over- 
sight at every stage of the work. Such a 
carriage is as near absolute perfection as 
modern art will permit.

has various advantages over it. It admits of

man's box, and the gauge is the same front

in localities where the roads are often in poor 
condition.

5PECI FICTIONS. 
*$tvU : 1889 pattern, modified and improved. 

Construction : 

The peculiar formation of this vehicle 
requires a most careful framing of the body 
to accomplish requisite strength, while the 
proper adjustment of seats for actual com- 
fort in so limited a space necessitates the 
closest study of proportions. Only skilled 
mechanics can be employed in its construc- 
tion, and purchasers should exercise especial 
care in the selection of a vehicle of this 
description.

Construction : 

The Croyden is built on a design adapted 
from a two-wheeled dogcart, but hung by 
improved methods on full platform-springs to 
turn anywhere in its own length. The body 
is elevated from the ground to a good height, 
but is very easy of access. The seats are 
deep and arranged in dos-a-dos style, with 
careful regard to extreme comfort. An entire 
novelty is the shape of the body, which 
curves outward in a perfect arc, full paneled, 
affording entire protection from the wheels. 
The effect is exceedingly graceful, and as a 
radical departure it has proved thoroughly 
practicable in its results.

SPECIFICATIONS. 

i§>tple: Greatly improved in 1889. 

Construction : 

This is an exact miniature of our full Dog 
Cart. The short gait of the pony renders 
extra care necessary in the adjustment of a 
Merry Hampton Cart to relieve it of all 
shaft motion. It is hung on full platform- 
springs, the body being kept independent of 
the shafts, and we can guarantee that no 
miniature two-wheeler has better riding quali- 
ties. The weight is over the axle. It is 
customary to build children's carts of a 
cheaper and flimsier quality, aiming at low 
price. We build the Merry Hampton as 
carefully and finely as the most expensive 
vehicle. It is solidly framed up and will last 
a lifetime of service.

Construction : 

This vehicle is especially designed and 
constructed in every part for the needs of

extreme comfort is the result which has been 
attained. The seats are made very deep 
with full-cushioned backs, large storm-proof 
top, ample leg room, and all the conveniences 
that can be crowded into a single carriage. 
We take special pains in the construction to 
secure protection from the weather, and as 
such a vehicle is often driven long distances 
and at high speed, the features of easy 
riding and durability are most important.

SPECIFICATIONS. 

!§>tplc: New model, 1890. 

Construction : 

The appliances and construction of the 
body are both adapted from the famous 
Stanhope Gig, the popular vehicle of half a 
century. The Posting Buggy, however, is 
framed up for especial strength and to 
provide storage for light luggage. In this 
vehicle careful application has been made of 
the principle on which the finest road-wagons 
are hung, the aim being to produce merely 
nominal weight, with the peculiar comfort 
and conveniences of the Posting Buggy. 
The front gear is fitted with safety-stays. 
Top removes or folds entirely flat.

Note. — Freshly varnished Carriages should be washed frequently and 
exposed to air and light in the shade, and should not be covered until the 
varnish has become hard. MUD LEFT TO DRY UPON FRESH 
VARNISH WILL LEAVE SPOTS, AND EXPOSURE TO 
AMMONIA WILL DESTROY IT. Plenty of water should be used, 
and great care taken that it is not driven into the body to the injury of 
the lining. For the body panels a large soft sponge must be used, and, 
when saturated, squeezed over the panels, and by the flowing down of the 
water the dirt will be softened and harmlessly run off. Care should be 
taken to wipe the surface dry with soft chamois leather, and never to use 
same sponge and chamois for panels as are used for running gear.

i§>tple : New Model of the present year.

The body is framed to produce the effect 
of a Dog Cart. It is concave each way, to

sufficiently roomy in size. The body is hung 
low by bending or dropping the perches, but 
a good height of wheels is maintained and 
the vehicle is very compact, with perfect 
strength and safety.

Only the first selection of steel, iron, wood, 
and leather enters into the construction of 
the Posting Surrey. The springs are of 
the finest quality ; steel axles ; hand-wrought 
ironwork ; and minute attention to details.

hair, and covered in heavy English broad- 
cloth.

SPECIFICATIONS. 
§>tple : Latest pattern. New York, 1890. 

Construction : 

This is an attempt to attain the lightest 
possible weight in a driving wagon with great 
strength. All parts of the construction are 
made subservient to this end, and the vehicle 
as a finished product may be regarded as the 
greatest achievement in carriage building at 
the present day. 




Materials : 

Only the finest materials are used through- 
out, and nearly all the parts are made exclu- 
sively for this vehicle at extra expense. The 
ironwork is hand-forged, and such care is 
taken that the entire vehicle, although a 
marvel of lightness, is more than a marvel 
of strength.

MEADOWBROOK CART. 

Note. — In our experience of a quarter of a century, this is the most 
popular low-priced cart ever presented to the public. It is also the most 
convenient for errands, short calls, exercise driving, or any occasion re- 
quiring a quick hitch or speedy drive. 



.SPECIFICATIONS, 
^ntrofluccto : 

1890. 

§tplr : Adapted from the Roman racing-chariot. 

Construction : 

Extremely simple, but including a wonder- 
ful series of successful experiments both in 
shape and hang, securing the greatest strength 
and easy riding qualities. Through an in- 
genious arrangement, there is an entire 
absence of horse motion. The Meadow- 
brook is unpretentious in appearance, but 
thoroughly stylish and "trig." The shape 
of this vehicle is full of dash and spirit. 

The seats both fold and open, admitting of 
instantaneous access or egress, thus making it 
from the standpoint of absolute safety the 
most popular two-wheeled cart for the use of 
timid persons, ladies or children. Folding 
cushioned backs. 




^Itatcrtals : 

Specially selected for safety and durability. 
First selection of ash and whitewood on body 
and shafts. Extra stout axles. Full carpeted 
floor. We have two qualities, one upholstered

ironwork cross-matched.

Bar Harbor Buckboard. 



SPECIFICATIONS. 
^>tple : Our own design. Already widely famous. 

Construction : 

Special. The platform is made from finest 
selected seasoned spruce, connected to the 
axles by the improved device of a circle and 
three half-length Concord springs. This 
mode of hanging greatly increases the 
strength and modifies extreme undulation, 
thereby making the Bar Harbor Buckboard 
a most delightful vehicle for very rough 
roads. The backs are extra high and fitted 
with soft spiral springs, producing an ex- 
treme of comfort and ease.

proved axles. Roller chafe irons. Lever 
brake. Broad steps and every detail care-
